Bino, you truly do make a big difference. You are humble and honest and intelligent. If I ever get the chance , I will do something for you too. Smiling, George.
Thank you. i just 2 hours ago dropped a tree that measured about 100 feet. i used this method in my pre-fall inspection. i had it at 110 feet by this method. very useful
OR if you know any geometry, you can point your arm up at a 45° angle and walk toward the tree or back from it until your arm is pointing to the top of the tree. You are now standing where the top of the tree will land (assuming you’re on fairly level ground). The two equal length sides of a right triangle makes the hypotenuse at 45° angles from the sides. 90° + 45°+45°. The angles of all triangles add up to 180°. You can use a carpenter’s level to get used to what is a 45° angle if you are inexperienced in doing this.
@@BinoH In layman's terms, use your forearm and fingers for your stick lol. Nothing different than the stick trick, well call it the forearm trick. I like the stick trick because it's a little more accurate since your "sights" are further away. Either will give you a little help.
you also need to add your height and add your height to the tape measure distance to get the height of the tree, if you do not add your height that is from the distance from your hand to the ground you will be that much off on your height of the tree....
If you are felling down hill you should add at least ten feet. Depending on the steepness of the hill, thickness of the hinge at the point of tip, the tree species and whether the tree is mostly dead or alive, most trees will jump downhill from the stump at least that far. I have had them jump twice that far but only rarely.
I cut a huge poplar three years ago on a 45-55 deg or more grade. The butt landed nearly 20’ from the stump…..my own property, nothing for targets But I have to say I was not expecting that much travel

Thank you, George for that awesome comment! Take care!

Sounds interesting never seen it done.

U really do this work I'm hgg and Jr climber that's what's i use
Thank you Bino. Thats a whole lot easier than fixing a roof. : ) George.
You're welcome!

Good points thanks for sharing!
Bino, have you made a video on arborist first aid kits? What do you carry if you're climbing?
Just a basic kit.
Where was the part you were gonna figuRe in your heigth?
great information , I always the the wheel n still use a stick .. thumbs up
I use the wheel when I have to have height but but if I'm felling tree a stick is quick and easy.
Thank you, sir!
Steve
You are very welcome
I cut a huge poplar three years ago on a 45-55 deg or more grade. The butt landed nearly 20’ from the stump…..my own property, nothing for targets

Lucky there were no targets. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome. Thank you.
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
I really like this one thanks
You're welome!
Thank you, I’m gonna give this a go, can’t hurt to know your not gonna hit a house or a donkey on the head etc , God bless Bino.
Cool take care!
I remember this,👍 Steve P.
What I like about it. It's so easy to do.
The height of the tree is greater because you didn’t take your height off the ground into consideration. Need to add it.
That's what makes it a little over so you know the tree will fall short of your point of reference.
Hay Old Man, you could poke your eye out with that stick, just kiddin! Get back to the chainsaw.
Now I understand what the stick does! Thank you
Thanks 👍
